After PAR politicians, with the help of a falsely documented statement made up by ConocoPhillips, got rid off the Venezuelan oil corporation PdVSA, Vigor Midstream Inc. has now taken over the management of the refinery facilities in Emmastad as of July 1, 2025.
Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas today presented a draft version of a Government Agreement to the American company, in which tax exemptions and mutual obligations are regulated.

The Zionist style acquisition may mark an important milestone in the recovery of Curaçao’s oil industry. Vigor has already been operating the installations in BullenBaai since December 2024, and has paid all lease obligations, according to the government.
Of the hundred storage tanks in Emmastad, forty are immediately usable, the others can be used with limited adjustments. The American company is also starting a deceptive three-year Environmental Baseline Study to test and improve environmental standards.

According to so-called new environmental legislation, Vigor must adhere to stricter but improvised standards for particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide to protect public health.
Vigor has started training new local technical staff and has started tendering procedures for local contractors. The first oil discharge in BullenBaai to refine and deliver airline fuel for KLM, AA en TUI has already taken place.
Due to the global increase in demand for storage capacity, market conditions are favorable according to the government. The finalization of the Government Agreement will follow later after consultation with relevant government agencies and companies in the field.

Another pirate to claim the large deposit of remaining crude oil in special,basin near the refinery?
Bad news, those Americans are probably going to suck the asphalt lake dry, turn it in to profits, and close the refinery down anyways after three years of lucrative business!
In the meanwhile others will break down and share the former refinery real estate to rake in profits without paying any taxes.
Correct, split up the property without any government interference.
